"Ever heard of the legend of the Lich?"

"What is a lich? Never heard of it! ”

"The land of the dead lies deep underground, the place of the dead, and in the depths of the rotten swamps of the Fairy Mountains, there is a lich who can bring the dead back to life."

"The Lich can communicate with the Netherworld, from the land of the dead, to the soul of the living, and bring the dead back to life!"

"The lich is an evil undead who plays with the soul, an existence that escapes death and the rules of the gods, and signs a contract with it, ten people and a hundred people's lives in exchange for the soul of one."

In the vicinity of the Fairy Mountains, in connected places, whether it is the kingdom of Mara or the Holy Sevir Empire, or even the villages on the border of the Church of Light not far away, the distant orc maritime trading city of Danelope is discussing these dark and terrifying rumors.

Legends of the Lich and the Necrons spread all around, and legend has it that if you walk through the Rotten Swamp and in the depths of the dark swamp forest, call the Lich's name and a Dead Headless Horsemann from the underworld will come and guide you.

"Then if you say your desire, offer your sacrifice, and let it fulfill your desire."

"Has anyone made a deal with this evil being? Aren't you afraid of being cursed by the gods? ”

"I heard that the young master of the Viscount Ivar family is ......"

The legend is true and false, which further adds to the gloom and horror of the entire Fairy Mountain Range, which was originally full of holiness and the smell of life, but now has a gloomy and dark color.

In the gloomy snowy cave of Snow Peak, in the underground cave, a large number of transformed skeleton soldiers are guarded on both sides, in addition, there are death knights advanced by ghouls, as well as all kinds of strange synthetic beasts, in the entire cave, countless monsters that are enough to make people frightened are shuttling around, and the complex underground cave system is like a labyrinth.

In the core hall leading to the cascading underground passages, Adenos was crouching on the table, clutching a charcoal pencil, and under the light of the gas lamp, the table was made up of a dozen large scrolls, a complex and dizzying witchcraft guidance array, and the surrounding ground, scattered countless materials about necromancy, body modification, soul fire, and philosopher's stone research.

"The Philosopher's Stone's sorcery guidance array is really exquisite!"

"How can there be such a genius-like idea, between the soul and the magic power, there is such a commonality, the birth of spiritual power, it turns out to be like this!"

And Adenus is making changes to this channeling array, the soul fire of Adenos, which originated from the combination of the mystery of the soul and the power of the Philosopher's Stone, Adenos is looking for a way to transform other lives into undead, and it is a way to convert them in batches.

"Here, here, and the guide array node here, it should be modified."

"I don't understand here, what the hell is it for?"

"This is the place where the magic net is hooked, quack quack, it should be modified to - extract the consciousness power of the living."

As Adenos continued to revise, a pair of witchcraft from the Philosopher's Stone came to life, and since four years ago, Adenos had been trying to figure out how to transform the lich, as well as this powerful sorcery.

"This sorcery is called the Song of the Necromancy!"

Adenos smashed the pen directly on the ground, stretched out his hand, and saw these parchment rolls, one by one, constantly retracted, in the hand of Adenos, automatically bound into an extremely heavy booklet, Ardnos waved his hand, a few gilded characters, appeared on the leather cover, meaning Ardnos's Necronomis.

The Necronomicon of Adenos contains information about the transformation of the lich, the creation of various undead creatures, and especially the most terrifying sorcery of the undead lineage, the Necronomicon, which is well documented.

Adenos watched himself spend countless efforts, through the night owl knights of the first wizard Levi, the previous Ardnos's ghoul death legion, and the army of the undead that he developed with soul fire as the system, the undead vein was finally completely formed in the hands of Adenos.

This made Adenos extremely proud, he surpassed Levi, and the previous generation of Adenos, whom he cared about so much, he far surpassed the two in terms of sorcery achievements and attainments.

"I am the most powerful, I am the real master of death."

"I will control death, master death, hahaha, no one can control me, control me, no one can control me, control me, no one can control me, control me, no one can control me, control me!"

Looking at his masterpiece, the witchcraft recorded on it, especially the Necronomicon Song, seemed to give Adenos infinite courage, and changed his original momentum of cowering and hiding his head and tail.

The defeat of Levi and the previous Adenos had caused him a strong psychological shadow, so he had always acted cautiously and slightly, and the thought of the huge lake caused by the fall of the stars outside of Babs City made him even more terrifying.

And at this moment, Ardnos broke free from all the shackles, and what he was afraid of and feared was left behind by Ardnos and regained his true self.

Approaching winter, on the Fairy Mountains, snowflakes are flying, and the whole world is covered in snow, and a team of orc knights has reached the depths of the Fairy Mountains from the north of the Fairy Mountains through the snow-capped swamp area.

A female knight wearing a thick fur cloak in addition to her armor, guarded by many cavalry, stepped through the snow and ice, gradually passed through the snowy forest, and arrived at the bottom of a huge stone monument.

On the huge stone tablet, there is an abbreviated blood-red symbol, which in the Finks language means death, indicating that from here, you will enter the world of death, and the living will not enter!

"Pretending to be a ghost, I want to see what this so-called lich is!"

Del Medi had completely grown into a tall female knight, her red cloak was constantly blown by the wind, and the cold wind and ice and snow were constantly blowing, while the cavalry behind her did not say a word, only waiting for Del Medidi's orders.

Del Medi took out a ring, held it up, and looked around, and immediately before he saw a presence riding a strange horse rush out of the depths of the forest in the hazy and invisible wind and snow.

Sitting down was a horse with black horns, its predecessor was a magical beast called the unicorn, after being caught by Ardnos in the depths of the rotten swamp, transformed into an undead, at this moment there is no longer the original holy taste, in a pair of pupils, only darkness remains, while gasping, black flames continue to erupt from the mouth, like a monster running out of hell.

And riding on top of this monster was a knight without a head, covered in rusty armor, a sharp sword, and a broken neck, green flames that seemed to speak a nameless language.

Del Medi suddenly felt that this monster was very familiar, and looked up and down, but did not remember: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is the Headless Horseman, the Guardian Knight under the Throne of the Lord, the One Who Guides the Way, Thou hast come with the Ring of the Contract, what are your wishes, what are the sacrifices!"

At this moment, a head in armor hanging from the horse's head suddenly turned to the front and spoke to Del Medi.
